I want to marry a poet
NO YOU DON’T THEY WILL RIP OUT YOUR SOUL AND EAT IT
For breakfast. With ketchup.
(via elsilvero)
It’s 8:33 pm on a Friday night and my mom just texted me asking me to account for all of my educational expenses in the year 2010. Something about taxes and a 401K? I don’t know. Who keeps their receipts from 2 years ago anyway?
Anyway I’ve concluded that the true purpose of adulthood is paperwork.
Colombia Brings Libraries to the Park
Via Bilingual Librarian:
Monday morning I was out walking around downtown Bogota when I happened upon this lovely little library in the park. This stand makes part of the Paradero Para Libros Para Parques (PPP), a program created about 10 years ago to help promote literacy across the country. The program is part of Fundalectura in association with city parks.
Currently there are 47 PPP in various neighborhoods of Bogota, and a total of 100 across the country. Each stand is staffed for about 12 hours a week by volunteer (they do receive a small stipend, but apparently it isn’t much).
The PPP are often open during the weekend and while in service they offer regular library services. Patrons can check books out, and the person staffing the PPP organizes activities (mainly for children), is available to answer questions, and often help children with their homework.
Love this.

I bought a dress to wear to graduation.
(This isn’t one of those things like getting married where no one is supposed to see the dress until the event, right?)
Amanda Palmer Fundraises For Her First Studio Album Since 2008
I want to be in a tri-marriage with Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman.
Who said textbook covers couldn’t be artistically ambitious? Vibrant vintage-inspired designs for science texts by Dover Publications.
Sometimes, I miss math.
